With the
weather (hopefully) getting warmer, we’ll soon start to ditch the jumpers, thick
tights, skirts and warm trousers in favour of lighter t-shirts, skirts and
cropped trousers, exposing a bit more flesh in the process - though this may get delayed a bit this year.
At this
point panic may set in. Have you neglected your skin somewhat during the winter
months whilst it has been covered with heavy layers of clothing, resulting in
dull, dry skin? Now’s the time to embark on a spring rescue regime for your
body.

| Get that skin toned for Spring |
To slough
off dead skin cells creating softer, brighter skin, treat yourself to a gentle
body scrub such as Simple Kind To Skin Exfoliating Body Wash or Radox Spa
Radiant Shower Scrub with
fig and neroli oil, which smells gorgeous. Or you can make your own by mixing
together sugar and olive oil to form a paste, massage onto dry areas and rinse
well. If you like you can add a few drops of a scented oil to make it more
interesting.
If you find
body scrubs a bit too harsh, then buy a brightening body wash such as Dove
Silk Glow Nourishing Body Wash, which softens and conditions skin, leaving it ‘glowing’.
After
showering/bathing apply an effective body moisturiser – some target specific
problems at the same time as moisturising. I recommend Nivea Firming Body
Lotion Q10 Plus, which
‘promises’ that it ‘’firms skin in two weeks”, and Dove Firming Lotion that boasts ‘improved skin
elasticity within 24 hours”, both of which are easily
absorbed, whilst toning and moisturising your skin. I tend to swap between the two and feel that my skin really
benefits from their use.
For
stubborn dry patches use Simple Derma Intensive Cream which claims to improve dry skin
patches in just four days. When I applied this to a stubborn area of dry skin
on my foot, it really made a difference, where other products had failed to
help.
